Default Light Savers for Rear Turbo Tail Lights

I just got my Light Savers from "Engineerboy100 Your Car Care Companion [porschetaillight@gmail.com]"


I am pretty happy with them.
If your tail light mounting tabs are cracked and or missing like mine were these can save you $$.
They fit great and look better then the metal reinforcements that I made.

I found that putting the top screw in first made it easier to mount them.

To make sure that there was clearance I slid his business card between the engine cover and LS after mounting them, so mine had at least 0.15" clearance. We will see if that is enough. If not it looks like the bracket can be adjusted in the fender.

Your Turbo went to Vegas without you? That doesn't seem fair.

In one of the threads here or maybe Pelican?? He said that the first (some number I think 13?) would be $29.95 and then $79.00 afterwards. I sent him $30 that day with PayPal and said whenever he felt that the product was ready send me a set.
I figured it was a gamble, like a kick starter campaign, if he never got it right it was some $$ for his effort, if it went well good for me. And everyone else with cracked/broken mounting tabs.
I just got them today. With a note that said that he was going to put something about the prerelease/first release offer up on eBay?

Cheers,
I think this is the thread. Maybe post 38 amongst the 40 - 50 posts of "Mine is bigger then yours" "Nuh-uh Mine's bigger and original so better" "Well I have more money" etc...

Found it

a thread like that on the 996TT forum?!?!
IIRC he started his own thread, and deleted as he wasn't a sponsor.. but could be wrong...
Either way, Ill probably buy up a few sets if he allows the RL price...
Cheers!

I hope he's still honoring the RL pricing. This is what he said:
"Don't worry about missing the sale, any long standing member here will be give the $29.95 price even after the promotion period. It's my way of giving back to the forum for all the years I have received help with different car problems."
